TEAM LIST Rd 3 v Dolphins

[westTAHger]

The team list for this game, attacks & defends well. Good discipline and line speed.
Hopefully wests tiger win, possibly even achieving the ultimate score line of
wests tigers 25
dolphins 18

Looking for more goal line defence as we displayed against the eels , it was at least 4 sets of 6 again., can we do the same with players like the Hammer attacking the line

 

[JC99]

All reports saying Bostock will play. If he does they have a wickedly good backline - however I see a big advantage for us in the middle of the field.

Gonna be a tough game to win. Their first home game, yet to win a game for their new coach, backup from a hot day and possibly a few key ins. Their forward pack is gettable though.

 

[Oldman]

Looking at our squad of 22
It’s fairly obvious that if we lose 2 forwards to injuries at the same time throughout the year we are going to be in trouble.
But I agree with others let’s not rush in and buy whoever becomes available for the sake of getting someone, let’s trust Richo to wait for a Diamond to pop up.

No excuses. We have the best defense in the comp and backs/halves who can score points. Depth might be the issue this season.

October 2028. Save the date.

Totally agree ...play Staines at fullback rather than Mason

Staines is playing fullback and Mason is the #6 in NSW Cup.

Come on, your a stats man, you can easily come up with something to confirm that, or disprove it, possibly both. 🤣

The green bars are great, but dont tell the whole story. When those red bars become green, then Ill agree.

The missed tackle stat can be misleading but limiting tackle breaks would be great

All stats are up for some degree of interpretation, however we have the highest amount of missed tackles which alone says our defence isnt the best. We have had a blessed start re: our 'against' column. 16 points is an awesome return against two sides who generally pile the points on against us. Its been 6 years since we had a start like this after our first 2 games.

• 2024 = 38
• 2023 = 36
• 2022 = 52
• 2021 = 70
• 2020 = 56
• 2019 = 12

if Bula is ruled out and Bostock and Finefeuiaki come into their side then our perceived advantage shrinks considerably.

Redcliffe have built a reputation in a very short space of time for scrapping for everything. if we aren't prepared for a dogfight it could get really tough.

 

[The Chad]

I still think the Dolphins are underrated, despite their results so far.

Dangerous backline & look at the guys on the reserves looking to get back into their forward pack.

That said, I think this could be a good game.

 

[jrtiger]

Wests Tigers star Jarome Luai is confident fullback Jahream Bula won’t be a late omission from Saturday’s clash against the Dolphins.

Bula, who starred in the Tigers win over Parramatta, sent a scare through the Tigers camp after he was spotted in a moon boot after the match.

Coach Benji Marshall named Bula at fullback on Tuesday but rookie no.1 Heath Mason was also included in the extended squad, as a potential back-up if Bula is ruled out.

The Tigers will hold the first full field session of the week today and Luai is expecting Bula to get through training unscathed.

“He’s ready to rock. Our big day is today, so he’ll lace up the boots and jump in with us,” Luai said.

“I was amazed at the way he played (against the Eels). We are going to need him again this week.”

I think it will be interesting to see how our cntres go up against Herbie and Averillo. Both extremely strong centres so ill be interested to see what happens.

Which Starford will turn up?!?
